This collection is based on the type and variety of colours
used throughout the three periods and which would in the main be thought
of as white. Frequently, small amounts of earth pigments such as ochres,
umbers and red oxides were added to limewash in order to create warmer
cream and beige shades, such as Provencal White, Candle Cream and Umber
White.
In an exterior setting these allowed a building to 'sit'
better in the landscape and blend in with it. Lamp blacks, ashes and clays
were added in order to create cooler shades and soft greys such as Ash
White and Lead White for a more classical look. Likewise, these work better
on older buildings for door and window frames, especially when used in
conjunction with deeper Heritage® front door colours.
In interior settings, many of the warmer shades such as
York White and Biscuit Beige would have been used alone for halls, stairs
and landings, where they would have been referred to as 'stone colour'.
The cooler shades of grey and green such as Tin White and Chiltern White
would have been highly suitable for south facing rooms and bedrooms where
a light scheme was required.
